Word
“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Psalm 119:103
Daily Devotional
King David described God's Word as sweet like honey; Peter compared it to milk that satisfies a nursing baby. These metaphors teach us that God's Word nourishes our souls just as food nourishes our bodies. Just as we need food each day to strengthen our outer man, we need God's Word and to abide in Jesus to strengthen our inner man. And, because the Word of God is ‘living and active’, there is nothing else that can bring healing, comfort or guidance like it (Hebrews 4:12).
Scriptures for Today
As you read today's Scriptures, read slowly and attentively, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you meditate on His Word.
Matthew 7:28-29
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Proverbs 30:5
“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.”
Isaiah 40:8
“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
John 17:17
“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”
